La Vergne High
School opened in 1988 in response to the population explosion in North
Rutherford County. Smyrna High School had been the only high school
serving this area for approximately 40 years, and its overcrowding was
the catalyst leading to the building of two new high schools: Smyrna
High School and La Vergne High School.

Since
its opening in 1988, La Vergne High School has operated at or above
capacity. All available classroom space is currently being utilized.

Facilities of La Vergne
High School

In 1996 a new wing with fifteen 21st
century classrooms and a computer lab were added, bringing the total
square footage to 175,000. The 21st century classrooms and computer
lab were technological milestones. These were followed by the addition
of computers in each classroom at LHS. This was made possible by the
combined efforts of parents, fundraisers and faculty participation in
the 11th and 12th Grade Projects implemented by the Rutherford County
Board of Education.

Other exterior facilities include a
football stadium with track, softball and baseball fields, soccer and
band practice fields, and an improved outdoor classroom. Other major
improvements include: extensive landscaping, a weight room, a
greenhouse, a footbridge from the student parking lot to the football
stadium, a new track, a football practice field, a memorial garden, a
new roof, and 38

extensive security cameras.

In 2005, another new wing was
completed with twenty-two 21st century classrooms including five new
science laboratories and two art rooms. This expansion also included a
new front office building, renovated cafeteria and classrooms in the
Career and Technical building. Each classroom at La Vergne High School
now has Internet access and the school boasts a full-time School
Technology Specialist. Other recent improvements include a new parking
lot, a new entrance/exit to the Chaney Boulevard Parking lot to ease
traffic congestion, additional lighting for the parking areas,
concession stands and painting of the inside of the original portion
of the school.
